Add ease in/out to curves when animating scale?

Im trying to animate the scale and position of a clip to go from full screen to the top corner. The position keys seem to have an automatic ease in and ease out to their curves. Scale seems dead linear. Needless to say the finished effect looks awful. The Video Animation editor doesnt appear to allow me to access the curves for transform. This is ridiculous! Am I doing something wrong? Anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks,
Andy

Yes, it should be more flexible. But all is not lost.
You just have to add a few more keyframes along the way to get a more nuanced variation. Not as elegant nor as easy as handling some Bezier curve, for sure. But you don't have to resign to setting one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end and let FCP X scale linearly.

  • Can you do an Ease In/Ease Out (bezier curve) with position/scale keyframes?

    I noticed that within the video animation editor, there is the ability to add ease in/ease out (bezier curves) to the opacity keyframes, but did not see the option to do this with scale (zooming) or position (panning).  Am I just not noticing it or is this just another limitation of Final Cut X keyframing?

    Did you try right clicking the keyframes after making the position changes, or scalling?  See attached screenshot.

  • Image flickering when animating scale

    Hi,
    Firstly i use flash 8.
    I animate a jpeg growing bigger, and its a large image over
    1600x1200. It flickers. Is there a way to prevent that?

    I'd say that has to do with your render settings in Motion and FCP. Without looking at them, I can't say for sure, but here's some things to be aware of.
    In MOTION:
    You can increase the quality by rendering in 16-bit, or even 32-bit.
    There are 3 render settings: Draft, Normal, Best. Default is usually set to Normal.
    Field rendering in Motion can produce poor results with progressive frame footage. Frame blending also.
    IN FCP:
    If your sequence settings are set to High Precision YUV, then that means FCP is using floating bit math for the render.
    It's possible that the Motion settings are set low, and the FCP settings are set high.

  • Ease in/out not intuitive

    Hello,
    I've been using animation applications for about 20 years now and, for whatever reason, Flash CS5's ease in/out feature has got me stumped.
    I have a simple text Movieclip that comes from the left, off stage, and moves to the right onto the stage and stops. I want to ease it so it slows down to a stop.
    I'm using Flash CS5 with the new tween.
    When I click on the tween in the timeline, the ease property in the Properties Inspector doesn't give me what I want. If I put 100, it comes in and stops hard. If I give it a -100, it slowly accelerates to full speed and then stops suddenly.
    I've read the tutorial for the new Motion Editor in Flash and it doesn't work like any other motion editor I've used, including Adobe's own After Effects. Normally, you would just click on the graph's line and then curve it with a pen tool or right-click on select bezier...
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey there,
    The property inspector applies ease across the entire tween span, so you're correct that it's not going to give you what you're after. One of the things about the new tweens is it's applying the animation to an entire object, which gives us complexities about trying to do things like ease between property keyframes. We know we need to make this workflow better, and have many ideas around this, hopefully it'll be a reality in a future release soon.
    So for now, when easing non-spatial properties (anything other than X, Y, Z), you can use the bezier to adjust the curve. For spatial properties (X, Y, Z) you can switch between smooth and linear curve but not use bezier handles. The reason for this is Flash has stage editing - in order to have both stage editing and control in the graphs, you can either have one or the other. Because Flash users are so accostomed to Stage editing, we went with that and turned of spatial control in the ME (otherwise, Math takes over the handles and you can't really adjust them as you expect). And also because adjusting those curves in the ME rarely gets a user what they're typically after (which is the correct result, technically/mathematically speaking).
    Anyway, long story short - if you're doing ease in/out, you may just want to use one of the "Stop and Start" eases, which is an S curve and is ease in and ease out. Just add it to your tween, set the value, and then apply it to the properties you need it on.
    Or, you can add a Custom ease and use the bezier controls (keyframes will snap to keyframes in the properties of the tween), and then apply it to your properties.
    If you aren't trying to ease a spatial property, you can adjust the curves using beziers, which is a good way of applying ease between keyframes as you note.

  • [F8] How to move a MovieClip with Ease In/Out tween using Actionscript

    In Flash 8, I need to move a MovieClip from point A to point
    B when a user clicks a button.
    I currently have a function which I pass three arguments:
    TargetX, TargetY, and the Duration (in frames). I have it working
    to move the clip linearly, however, I would really like to be able
    to ease in/out on the tween.
    I'm really stuck on the math of it all and need someone to
    give me the formula.
    Here's my function:
    Code:
    // Function which is called when user clicks button to move
    the mc
    _global.fMoveTheMovieClip = function(iTargetX, iTargetY,
    iDuration){
    // Calculate the distance to the Target position
    iTotalDistance = iTargetX - MoveThisClip_mc._x;
    // Mover function
    MoveThisClip_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
    // If the movie clip has gotten close enough to the target
    if((Map_mc._x > iTargetX && Map_mc._x <
    (iTargetX + 1)) || (Map_mc._x < iTargetX && Map_mc._x
    > (iTargetX - 1))){
    // Snap the movie clip to the target x
    MoveThisClip_mc._x = iTargetX
    // And stop this function
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    // Else, if the mc has NOT reached the target zone
    }else{
    // Move the clip
    // This is where I would like a formula to ease out then in
    based on the duration
    // Right now I have this to move the mc at a constant speed
    MoveThisClip_mc._x += (iTotalDistance / iDuration);
    Also, everything needs to be AS2 compatible.
    AND, I can't use the "tween" or "transitions" classes.
    So, please don't post anything with code similar to this:
    Code:
    import mx.transitions.Tween
    import mx.transitions.easing.*;
    If I need to add a "power" or "strength" argument to my
    function, that's fine.
    Thanks!!!!

    I'm thinking what I want isnt possible...
    Here is what I get.
    Its perfect for landscape.
    But when I use the same settings on a portrait, I get this
    The entire canvas should be portrait.  If I flip it, then the watermark is under the image instead of on the right hand side going up like on the landscape one.
    The portrait one should end up looking like this
    I know this is being picky, but I'm taking over running photo and reviews for a media, and we have 4-5 photographers (myself including) covering shows.  So I'm looking for a one click to export and bam everything is fine type of thing. 
    So it's like the canvas would need to be portrait for portrait photos and landscape for landscape photos, and keep the name on the lower right regardless.  I'm thinking LR isnt that smart just yet to say "add 1 inch and put logo down here on all images" lol
    But I totally appreciate your input.

  • Can AE do 1)Photoshop or Flash distort, skew, warp etc. transformations?,2) mask tween:ease in/out?

    Hello AE Community,..
    1) does AE have or can be made to perform Photoshop or Flash distort, skew, warp etc. transformations?, (these save incomparable time in path editing rather than AE's limited transforms and manual point and tangent realignments)
    2) when shape(mask) tweening in AE is it capable of what Flash calls ease-in/out, or what Illustrator and CorelDRAW calls "speed"or "acceleration" respectivly?
    thanks for any help,
    Jeff

    Re 1) Effects --> Distort --> Transform | Mesh Warp
    Re 2) Animation --> Keyframe Assistants or simply use the graph editor.

  • Moving a symbol w/out recording the path animation.

    Hello.
    I have a very simple question.
    I am simply trying to move symbols around on my Stage, and each time I move one, the "path" is recorded and the object flows on that path when I scrub or play back.
    All I would simply like to do is reposition images and symbols with out the movement and animation.
    Any advice?

    if you see that path it means you have a motion tween applied to the symbol.
    right-click on the symbol and select remove tween.
    if you don't want flash to figure out the motion for you do this:
    place symbol on stage in frame 1
    select any other frame in that layer, 2, 5, whatever... and press f6 to add a new keyframe.
    change the position of the symbol
    repeat as necessary

    Try some basic troubleshooting.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

  • Motion-ease in/out

    I'm working in FCE4 and using a number of still pictures. I'm doing pans and zooms using the motion control. No problem. The acceleration from start to stop is constant. I want it to start out slow, speed up, then slow down to end. So I control click to get "ease in/out" and apply. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't. Sometimes nothing happens. Sometimes it changes the motion path from a straight line to a curve causing the picture to veer off from the straight line I want. Why does it sometimes not work or change the motion path?

    Using FCE 3.5.1 / OSX 10.6.2 / Intuos 2
    Well, not really sure why FCE’s Motion control only works on some clips for you...?
    If you like, here is my workflow...
    Create a motion-pass of your image, let’s say from left to right...
    You should see a blue linear motion-pass with two green endpoints...
    (the small dots in between are automatically generated keyframes)
    Right click the first green (round) point (start-frame) /
    From the drop-down choose Ease In / Ease Out /
    Move the tip of the Bezier-handle in any direction and make it longer...
    (keep it straight for a straight line, but it can be adjusted at any time))
    You should see a second blue dot fairly in the middle of the bezier-handle...
    Move that little dot up or down and see how the key-frames are moving...
    Moving it to the green dot concentrates the keyframes (slower movement)...
    Moving it to the other side opens the key-frames (faster movement)...
    Do the same with the other green (square) point (end-frame)...
    Adjust those handles until you like what you see...
    Regards

    Album overview
    A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
    You can create photo albums to:
    Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
    Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
    Gather a decade of anniversary photos
    iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
    Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
    Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
    Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
    All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
    Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
    You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
    After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
    In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
    To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
    To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
    Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
    Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

  • Add easing to a setInterval script

    I have this script set up to move my movie clip 750 px at a
    time acroos the stage. There is 2 thing that I want this to do that
    it doesn't.
    1. I want to add easing so that the clip slides into place at
    each interval.
    2. theis script doesn't loop. I need it to start again
    infinately when finished.
    I eventually want to have this automated motion combined with
    button and I am not sure how to do this either. if you have any
    suggestions please let me know.
    thanks

    ok everyones confusing everyone else.
    My stage is 752 x 284
    my movie clip is 8 images stacked side by side and put into 1
    movie clip which spans 7512.4 px. What I am doing is starting at 1
    side of the clip and every 10 secs or so the MC needs to shift
    752px to the left and ease into place. this happens as many times
    as there are images and then loops back to the start.
    Make sense?
    I am also looking for roll overs to do this as well when a
    user interacts with them. so the main movie is automated unless
    interacted with. also a highlighted number of the slide to pop up
    when the frame is static. any ideas on how to combine these
    elements?

  • Easy Ease vs Easy Ease In/Out

    Newbie question here what's the difference between Easy Ease vs Easy Ease In/Out?
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Easy Ease creates an ease on both sides of the keyframe. Ease In adds it before the keyframe. Ease out adds it after the keyframe.
    Easy Ease is a combination of Ease In and Ease Out.

    You can have a Gmail account and still set your iPhone to check at certain times and you will receive your mail.
    As far as the "fix".. There is nothing to fix.. You're the one that would need to call at&t to "temporarily disable" your data while traveling out of the country. Unless, you call them to set you up on an International Rate for a monthly fee while you're away!
